Expert Reviews
James Suckling — 92 Points | Aromas of wild strawberries, watermelon rind, nectarine, and chalk. The medium-bodied palate has bright acidity with flavors of salted nuts, oyster shells, and orange blossoms. The generous texture is carried on a finely beaded mousse. Precise and fresh.
Wine Spectator — 92 Points | A bright, mineral-driven rosé with a delicate mesh of nectarine, white cherry, and biscuit flavors riding the lacy mousse. Well-cut and refreshing, with accents of blood orange zest, ground ginger, and fleur de sel on the lingering finish.
Jeb Dunnuck — 91 Points | Bright salmon color with fresh aromas of ripe peach, melon, wet stone, and tangerine. Approachable and medium-bodied with an elegant mousse and a refreshing, clean finish. Ideal for drinking young.
Winemaker's Notes
Deutz crafts this Brut Rosé from a blend of premier Pinot Noir grands crus from the Montagne de Reims (~90%) with a touch of Chardonnay (~10%). Its distinctive color and character come from the addition of approximately 8% still red wine from old vines on the hill of Ay — notably from the celebrated “Meurtet” plot owned by Deutz.
On the nose, fresh and direct aromas of cherries, blackberries, pomegranates, and redcurrants. The palate is deliciously full-bodied, with flavors of fresh strawberries and raspberries, and a pleasantly acidulous finish that adds finesse and balance to this romantic, elegant Champagne.
Food Pairings
Equally at home as an aperitif or at the table — pair with salmon with mushrooms, beef carpaccio, duck with red berry sauce, roast lamb chops, or creamy cheeses such as Chaource or Brillat-Savarin.
